Passions Rising: A Forbidden Vampiric Love Story Chapter Forty-Five- George Atwood- 23 yrs old
“Yes, I requested you here because we need to clear up a few things. I’m hoping it won’t take too long to clear it all up and all be on the same page.” George tried to sound professional and keep his dislike from shading the tone of his words. As far as George knew, currently he didn’t have proof that Maximus lied about his whereabouts and his alibi at the time of Mary’s murder. But Maximus was an artificial as any creature could be. His image possessed several cracks that George could see, and it didn’t endear him to George in any way. “What do we need to clear up between us? How many things do we have problems with?” Maximus, of course, played dumb to George’s words and meaning. “I’ve had several complaints about you and your treatment of others. No, no. I’m not done yet. They range from the serving caste all the way up to the ambassador herself. Now I know right now we have no way of replacing you. So instead o

Adriana met George an hour later at her apartment door and with an umbrella in hand, George escorted her to the Phantom and opened the door for her to enter. “I think this is the first time I’ve had the chance to ride in a car.” “Yes, well, this is the New Phantom. They only arrived on the market. It’s supposed to be greatly improved from the Silver Ghost model. So it should be an entirely new experience.” George stated as he closed the umbrella with a shake and followed her into the limousine’s dark interior. George knocked on the partition between the driver and them. A moment later, they were moving. Adriana’s eyes were wide in surprise as their speed steadily built. “Well, I didn’t expect it to go this fast. We’ll be there in no time. Why didn’t someone think of making something like this before?” George couldn’t help but smile. He’d been able to acquire the vehicle through a channel, somethi

Maximus left the office with as much dignity as he could possibly muster, but he stormed down the corridor and left the building. Frustrated as he went to his vehicle, he took his claw and punctured the tire of the vehicle George acquired. Let George explain why the vehicle can’t move when the princess wanted to leave. That was Maximus’ idea of how things should go. This wasn’t good enough for Maximus’ petty nature. He needed to release his emotions and rebel a little or a lot. With a smile that didn’t reach his cold, dead eyes, Maximus drove to the red-light district of the closest city. He wanted to have some mindless fun before returning to his work. He found a gin joint that was hopping with life. He parked across the street from the gin joint and ran through the rain to get to the club’s entrance. The music was loud, the glitz and the glam was over the top. It was teeming with life. Everyone there was looking for the time of their lives. Maximus knew for sur

George finally found a sheltered overhang to a building, but not before the rain finally came to a stop. He needed to look at her injury without the rain and with something more than the moonlight. He winced as soon as he saw her temple. The accident happened several minutes ago, and Ana hadn’t healed yet. George knew this wasn’t good. She probably didn’t feed regularly in the last few weeks because Mary wasn’t there with her. Food and drink laced with blood could sustain them for a short time, but it did nothing for them if they were injured. She needed more blood to heal. There were no humans near George was aware of and their driver wasn’t any benefit, as he was dead. George couldn’t be upset at the driver for being so fragile. But currently, his death created more difficulties. Now he wasn’t sure by the vacant look in her eyes if he could get her to their new residence and their feeders there. A phone would help, but the one he

George watched as the wound on Ana’s head healed before his eyes and he relaxed a little. Now he needed to deal with Ana and the feelings his blood evoked in her. There was no way he could hide how he felt from her now. This bond was one-sided, and he couldn’t feel her emotions. To feel them, he would need to close the bond and drink from her. That was going too far and treading too closely to mating with someone outside of your caste. At least, he had a reason for this partial bond and Ana might skate through any prosecution if anyone discovered she fed from him. She’d been injured, and he needed her healed so that he could get her to safety. That was the next thing on his list. Ana clung to him while he tried to lead her down the road again. “We need to get to our destination now. It’s not far, but neither is the sunrise. Come, let’s get back to walking.” He pulled her along even as Ana protested and complained

Now she understood what the stories meant when they spoke of an obsessive fascination with the vampire you drank from. She could feel his emotions, and all she wanted to do was thank him for caring. Ana felt like he was the first person she’d ever had in her corner. It felt eye opening, the concern he felt over so much. It felt so heavy and weighing down, that hurt her heart to know that. Someone she could trust that wasn’t something she’d squander lightly. “Ambassador, I have Heidi here to help get you to your new rooms. She says everything is ready for you. I must go deal with a security issue before I can retire for the night. I’ll look in on you after I’m done.” Heidi gave George an odd look. It wasn’t appropriate for him to do that. But at this point, he needed to know that she was safe and looked after properly. George gave Heidi the look to just go with him on this. She could believe he was lying about it. Or she could repor

Ana was slowly beginning to feel more like herself. The blood worked to help her heal, but the ability to feel his emotions and her own would throw anyone a little off at any time. But with a head injury, she felt overwhelmed. The need to question who felt what was a little confusing, but it told her one thing that she didn’t need to know. If they hadn’t already kissed before, it would have blindsided her. But his feelings about her were a lot stronger than she expected. Now she was trapped with this knowledge and couldn’t do anything about it. She couldn’t talk to anyone for fear it might be overheard or repeated to the wrong person. George was trapped in her world now, even if no one knew about the connection between them. “Ambassador, do you need assistance preparing to sleep? Perhaps a nightcap?” Heidi wasn’t offering to make her a drink. This was a polite way to ask if Adriana needed to feed.

Ana leaned against the door after she closed it. This was the first time she’d ever been curious about what a male looked like without clothes on. Really without clothes on, not just removing his shirt while he trained. George probably didn’t know that she’d secretly watched him train in that state of undress. But now Ana wanted to peel it all away and see everything up close and personal. Have the entire experience. “What am I thinking? Am I going mad? That would be suicide.” She spoke the words the little angel on her right shoulder chanted. But on her left shoulder stood an equally loud devil, telling her step-by-step instructions on what to do with him. It was enough to make her blush if she could. Her head injury truly must be worse than she thought if she could contemplate such risky behaviour. Had her father sent her here with George to test her limits and weed her from the offspring waiting for the throne?

Please Note: If you hate the idea of it never happened that way or a cliffhanger ending. Please don’t read past Chapter 153. Ragnar, you can’t do this. I know the timeline is altered and I understand it could have devastating consequences. But we can’t go around using magic to change things back the way they should have been. I’m sure things have changed like this before, and you didn’t do anything then.” “It’s out of my hands. The Dragon Council is sitting right now discussing this issue. I’ve got no say in it beyond my report. If they feel everything that’s happened must be changed, then that’s what will happen. It’s a last resort. But Maximus Lioness isn’t the vampire who should have that name. Something went wrong there, and that’s just one problem with the timeline, as you call it, is wrong.

North American Ruling Council - Two Weeks Later Ana walked the halls again of the NARC Headquarters, doing her thing. The meetings did not differ from they’d been before. Her plans were falling into place. Her father was pleased and Caun finally could do his original job before easing into his position as a titled royal. The talk around the building didn’t stop with creatures awake at all hours of the day and night. From wild affairs to several battle royale, Ana was busy catching and keeping up with it all. She’d already been requested to assist with preventing a war from breaking out between the Nanaue, a Hawaiian shifter race of sharks, and the Merfolk, mermaids, and mermen. Fun times for all, as there are more than enough sharp teeth and injured pride to go around. This wouldn’t be a simple mediation, and Ana craved the challenge. The Dragon Ambassador did something. Ana suspected magic, because when she retur

Four Days Later - Meeting About the Future Ana woke that evening to find Caun wasn’t beside her, which was odd. When she found him, which took some effort, he was in Tatiana’s night garden exploring it with several of their guards. She had to ask several people to track him down. “Caun, what’s the matter? Why are you here?” “Oh, good evening, love. I was speaking to your father and the attacks on Tatiana came up in our conversation. You were still asleep, and I didn’t want to interrupt you. While we were talking, your father said that no one could tell me how her attackers from the first incident entered here. Since we have several excellent investigators as our guards, I thought we’d take a look around to see if we could find something that could explain how, if not, who did this.”“Oh, good grief I can understand my father not asking me how she pulled this foolishness off, but Caun I’m surprised you didn’t ask me.” That had Caun

Caun stood in line with the last of the guests filing through past him. He’d lost count of the hundreds of hands he shook. There were guards everywhere, and it made him uncomfortable, be he as George, who he still identified as, belonged with them. He kept his eye on his mate and marvelled at how she pretended not to be bored and uncomfortable with the many comments on her unique dress. The side-eye glances and the judgemental glares. It would be a difficult and busy evening. Caun hoped things would get better from here on out. That they’d be busy enough that she wouldn’t be able to brood or her the courtier’s opinion on anything.“So far, so well, this evening. Let’s see how far we can go with no scenes with any of the superficial fools who think they are powerful people.” He whispered this into Ana’s ear. It was a joke, because no matter what he said to Ana, she wouldn’t believe him. She now was a secretly powerful person. “We’ll see the night is sadly still young

Evening of the Celebration of the Life Partner Pairing Adriana thought it was crazy to see the clothing laid out for Caun and her. She’d never seen Caun every in such regalia and her own unique sense of fashion so intricately woven into the more traditional garb of a formal event. Instead of a full-length gown with sashes, ruffles, and silk flowers enveloping it. Ana wore a full dress with a closed slit up the front of the gown. Beneath it, she wore a pair of trousers and boots. Her bodice was a beauty with false draping that allowed her to wear a short, cropped jacket that Matched Caun’s jacket only it was far shorter. It was feminine, but allowed her to show her rank as the Vampiric Ambassador and a soldier within her father’s military. Which pleased her greatly because it meant her skills weren’t a dirty secret or an embarrassment to her father. Ana’s lady’s maid didn’t have a comment or criticism about anything she assisted Ana

Ana could see the sigh of relief at her words in the way her father relaxed and Eva, too. As if even this setting didn’t quite keep her father’s anxiety at bay and Eva somehow shared in it. Could she really be supporting this?Ana couldn’t see how this would be in her best interest to let this happen. If she even pretended to go along with it and encourage it, then Ana could, too. “I am relieved to hear you say this. Eva has been pressuring me to get this done before we celebrate anything because she doesn’t want there to be any miscommunication between us. I admit I agree with her. There’s been too many things keeping me from being fully in your life and now with most of that gone, I hope you will accept my attempts at rectifying that.” Her father stood up at saying this. “Come here. There’s one thing I’ve missed since you could talk.” Ana frowned because she wasn’t sure what he was speaking about and took a step back.

Ana couldn’t help it. When they entered the private well-lit moon garden of the Vampiric Emperor, she had to marvel at the artistry of it’s many curated garden paths. It was like a maze laid out before her and put Tatiana’s garden to shame. Here her father could find a little quiet solitude away from the prying eyes of his courtiers and guards alike and he guarded that privacy as if it were more precious than gold itself. She held onto Caun’s arm as they entered the space and stepped down toward the pathway Edger used to lead them to her father. The gravel that made up the surface of the path crunched softly under their feet as they followed. The sounds of night birds in the trees floated down to them as a few random lightning bugs flitted between the trees, and the space looked like someone had infused it with a sweet healing magic that was full of warmth and gentleness.“I have to say I like your father’s choice of private spaces. Between this and

Edger did return after they’d relaxed a little and changed. Ana still couldn’t help it. When she discovered the clothing, her father had commissioned for her, she’d stopped dead in her tracks in disbelief. Her new lady’s maid gave her a note written in her father’s handwriting which spoke volumes that he’d not dictated it to someone. He’d taken the time to write to her. Ana knew that wasn’t a normal relationship between child and parent, but they weren’t exactly normal people. [Adriana love, this note is to ensure you understand that situations of safety and security forced my hand to do and say things I never wanted to say to my daughter. You aren’t hidden or an embarrassment to me. I am relieved to have proven you are my daughter. Your mother tied my hands when it came to raising you, but I kept eyes on you at all times. Your life partner and you will find I’ve arranged for clothing for you in the tastes you are comfortable in, with a touch of nob

Ana entered the suite first, followed by Caun and finally Edger. A smartly dressed couple stood there waiting for them. They weren’t in the royal livery, though they clearly wore a livery. It wasn’t unusual in the days before Adriana’s birth for other leaders to have their servants in their own livery. There were a few these days, but many were no longer used since the houses no longer existed. “The Emperor took it upon himself to outfit your servants in your personal livery. This is Jacque and Rachel. They will ace as your personal maid and valet.”Ana nodded at them in recognition. These were people her father hired for them, and that was fine. They knew enough not to say anything suspicious in front of them. The pair curtseyed and Ana dismissed them. “We’ll speak later. I’m sure you have plenty to keep you busy. Are my weapons going to be a problem for her Edger?”“No, Princess, she has received training to look after, maintain, and store your weapons appropriately should the need
